Informantion about murder and gun violence you won't read in the Virginian Pilot

 The people who produce the Virginian Pilot are not smart, so they are probably unaware of these statistics, but even if they were, they would not print them because that does not fit their story line.

Democrats think they can win on this issue because the Media is biased and misinforms the public about “gun violence.”

Crime is a people problem. If you understand nothing else about crime, you must understand this — crime is committed by people. It is not committed by inanimate objects, and while data on criminal activity can be charted as a trend over time, trends don’t commit crimes, people do. There is a word for people who commit crimes; we call these people “criminals” and, if anyone is interested in investigating trends, one trend is fairly consistent — most violent criminals are repeat offenders, and will not stop this behavioral pattern unless they are locked up in prison.

 Democrats do not want to discuss crime as a people problem, but rather as a gun problem, because (a) most gun owners are Republicans and (b) most criminals are Democrats. Or, that is to say, the violent crime problem in America is largely concentrated in urban areas where Democrats get the majority of the vote.

Research by John R. Lott Jr. highlights just how geographically concentrated the murder problem is in the United States. Of the more than 3,000 counties in the country, 52 percent had zero murders in 2020, while the 31 counties with the highest murder rates (the worst 1 percent) had 42 percent of the nation’s murders. Expand the focus to the worst 2 percent (62 counties), and these accounted for more than half (56 percent) of U.S. murders in 2020. Lott concluded: “Murder isn’t a nationwide problem. It’s a problem in a small set of urban areas …”

Yes, but what about “gun violence”? What about the inflammatory rhetoric of Democrats demonizing the National Rifle Association (NRA) as somehow to blame for America’s crime problem? Among other things, Lott took into account rates of firearm ownership, and found an inverse relationship between the prevalence of murder and rates of gun ownership: “According to a 2021 Pew Research Center survey, the household gun ownership rate in rural areas was 79% higher than in urban areas. Suburban households are 37.9% more likely to own guns than urban households. Despite lower gun ownership, urban areas experience much higher murder rates.”

So much for the correlation between gun ownership and crime. What do we know about the correlation between politics and crime? The five U.S. cities with the highest per capita murder rates are St. Louis (69.4 per 100,000 population), Baltimore (51.1), New Orleans (40.6), Detroit (39.7), and Cleveland (33.7). In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden got 82 percent of the vote in St. Louis, 87 percent in Baltimore, 83 percent in New Orleans, 94 percent in Detroit and 80 percent in Cleveland. In other words, the most dangerous cities in America are all Democratic Party strongholds.

The Regime Media Has Earned Our Distrust

 For several days, the regime media put out a story about an underway-clad intruder who encountered an underwear-clad Paul Pelosi at 2:30 a.m. in his mansion. Paul Pelosi is known to have substance issues, having famously just gotten a DUI. Reports said he called the man his “friend” to the 911 dispatcher. Reports identified the alleged intruder as a nudist activist from a commune in Berkeley. There was a third-person involved who opened the door for the cops. Photos showed glass outside the house – kind of odd if this was a break-in. There was apparently no security, which is weird since Nancy Pelosi has not been shy about claiming those scary insurrectionists want to murder her. This was the story the regime media reported.

Of course, any fair-minded person would assume that this was a MAGA assassin, if that fair-minded person had gobbled a handful of mushrooms and washed them down with Everclear.

Now, weirdness in ‘Frisco is part of the City’s DNA – I grew up just outside it and it’s always been a freak show. But the event probably would have drawn little speculation, being just another manifestation of the crime in yet another Democrat metropolis, if the Democrats had not decided to try to blame conservatives for it.

Not surprisingly, since the facts the facts as initially reported were very odd indeed, people questioned the bizarre scenario being pushed by the regime media. And the skeptics were right to question the narrative, since the key facts recited above were radically changed from those in the previous reports. Now only the intruder is in his skivvies, and maybe not him either. There is no explanation of the “friend” comment – at this writing the official 911 tape has not been released, not has any security video or bodycam footage. That third party has now been erased. There is still no explanation regarding the lack of security. And suddenly this guy allegedly has some incoherent ramblings about 9/11, Jews and other stuff. 

In other words, the facts – reported by the regime media – that underlay people’s original skepticism have changed. The regime media admits – or claims, because who knows what the truth is – that key original facts that spurred the suspicion about the story were false. So, when the regime media complains that people do not believe the Official Approved Narrative™ they are really saying is, “You were wrong for believing what we told you.”

And, of course, the fact that the regime media is pushing the Democrat Big Lie that Republicans are somehow responsible for this guy – who, if you totally buy the regime media’s latest story, is a raving loony – means that the regime media deserves even less trust. But then, the regime media’s track record of Big Lies designed to support Democrat political agendas by slandering conservatives is long and shameful just in the last few years…

Trump was a Russian agent

Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation

Yeah, but we should not only totally believe this story without question despite the ever-changing facts but we should hang our heads in shame and accept that we, as conservatives, are personally responsible for what this schizo freak allegedly thought.

No. 

The regime media has not earned our trust. The regime media does not get the benefit of the doubt. In fact, it has earned our active distrust both by its endless series of lies about us in other cases and by its, at best, inaccurate reporting and scummy slander in this one. The idea that because the FBI says something or the regime media says something we must take it at face value is a non-starter.

A crazy person was always a possibility, but that fit neither with the facts as the regime media initially reported them, nor with the rabid reaction of the Democrats and their media minions in trying to blame us for the events. You don’t get to tell a disgusting lie about a group of people – “Your right-wing views were the cause of this!” – and then expect the slandered to just accept the rest of what you say as if it is gospel. If this latest version of the facts is true, this is a nut who did what nuts do – and who would not have been able to do it if the Democrats themselves did not allow kooks to wander their streets. But as the red wave approaches, in their desperation, the Democrats seek to lie about us and blame us for him, and then act all huffy when we refuse to go along with it.

Many Republicans responded to the initial reports by condemning the crime and hoping for Pelosi’s swift recovery. Those of us who have been here before knew what was coming, though, and it did. The Democrats spit in the faces of those offering condolences, and lied about them causing this attack. Many of us expected that, and the left lived down to our expectations.

Well, we’re not sitting back and accepting the Democrat Big Lie. We’re not going to take the blame for what, if the latest story is accurate, is the result of urban Democrat policies that tolerate madness. And we are not going to be silent.

This is the kind of ad Republicans should run between now and the election.

They didn't hold back 👏🏽

I hope there's more to come. If @GOP wasn't spineless, they'd be using real footage & making ads like this like this. @TNGOP take notes. https://t.co/di4MyKPJGg

Should We Just Let It Burn?

 

At some point we stop caring until it comes to our neighborhoods.

Kurt Schlichter:

But we will care, at least for now, because we are nice people and we think all Americans should live in something like peace and prosperity. It’s hard to get through our heads that not all of our countrymen feel that way. The chaos, violence, and misery that some Americans exist in is actually their choice. It’s a choice that liberals make, and they can make that choice because blue city voters inexplicably elect liberals who choose chaos. 

The libs tried giving people money. That failed. Astonishingly, handing people free cash does not magically make things better. Then they tried improving the economies in these places by importing a bunch of foreigners to take all the entry level jobs. Astonishingly, that did not work either. Their current experiment is to make the cities woker by not arresting criminals who make the cities unlivable and releasing the few who are in jail. And – you are not going to believe this – that has also made things worse.

So, even though we do want to help – for now, because eventually there will come a point where non-blue city dwellers just shrug and say, “You’re on your own” – it’s not really clear what we can do gently.

....

So, the question is not whether we normal people should just let the cities burn. In fact, we have no say in it unless we mobilize and invade. That’s not happening anytime soon. No, the question is whether the liberal establishment will tolerate this crap, and the answer is that it will until it gets scared. But then, all bets are off.

The riots and “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”

 The general idea of Goethe’s version of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice is not especially about lies. The message is that we are not wise enough to know what the result of our efforts will ultimately be. When we call forth any powerful forces—inventions, weaponry, politics, laws, theories, artistic creations – they can be used for good or evil and everything in between, and we don’t necessarily have any say in the matter. The same is true if we call forth powerful destructive forces such as mobs, for ends we think we are achieving.

Right now, the “we” is the left (books, the press, the education system, the Democratic Party), and the force that’s been called forth is the Antifa BLM mob. Elected politicians such as a mayor like Ted Wheeler of Portland or Jenny Durkan of Seattle have already glimpsed the army of broomsticks coming towards them to trample them. But this is no cartoon.

In Iran in 1979, the left played footsie with the Ayatollahs, thinking it could use them and that the left would win in the end. History tells us they were wrong. Right now in the US it’s left vs. left – the political, elected left (and the “useful idiot” liberals) versus the more anarchist/nihilist/sociopathic left such as Antifa. The first group is Mickey Mouse (in more ways than one) and the second group the broomsticks.

And the elected left may find that the spirits it has summoned cannot be banished.

Here’s One Thing Officials Can Do to Make Lockdown Life Better: Stop Being Hypocritical Tyrants

This is beginning to look more and more like you local government officials.

We're in the middle of some serious shit and petty tyrants at the local level are only making it worse.  And you can spot a trend: the officials in charge are mostly Democrats.

There are the police officers who thought it was a good idea to pester a little girl shooting baskets alone in a park. She was socially distanced. She was fine. If a game of street 3-on-3 suddenly broke out, well, that’s a different story. But she was alone. So leave her alone. The police later apologized, but they should have just used some common sense and avoided the whole situation. And there are the police officers in Colorado who arrested a dad playing ball with his daughter in a park. Leave people alone or this could start getting ugly. Most Americans support the police, but we don’t support a police state.

There are the officials who decided Easter weekend was a good opportunity to start messing with churches struggling like everyone else to deal with the new reality. California’s Mendocino County is banning church singing on a livestream. How does this help stop the spread of coronavirus? Kentucky’s Democrat governor took to taking down Christians’ license plates for going to church in their cars. How does this help halt the virus from spreading? It doesn’t. It just makes people who are already on edge that much edgier. Elections matter. Remember this in a few years and do better.

Michigan should also do better. It elected the cluelessly tyrannical Gretchen Whitmer as its governor. A few weeks ago Whitmer was a rising Democrat star. Now, she’s a petty thug who’s in over her head (which doesn’t rule her out of still being a rising Democrat star). She’s awful. She has gone on a power trip worthy of Blofeld, the nutty Bond villain who built a fortress in a volcano and fed his underlings to piranhas. Whitmer is telling people who own more than one home that they cannot drive between those homes. How does this stop the spread of the virus? She’s telling people they can’t buy carpet and paint because they’re not “essential.” Tell that to anyone who suddenly has to repair something in the home they’re suddenly hanging onto because they suddenly lost their job because Whitmer arbitrarily closed their business. Tell that to the guy whose whole job is home repair and remodeling. Who is she or any of these so-called leaders to say what is and isn’t “essential”? Broadly speaking, a legal job that enables someone to feed their family is essential to that family. Tell them they’re not essential and they’ll tell you exactly what they think of you. There will be choice words and gestures.
...
When we see Chicago’s mayor ban haircuts, and then get one herself because she’s privileged and you're not and she imposes a curfew on others for no evident reason, and when we see a Texas county judge apparently violate his own stay at home order, it sends the entirely wrong signal in a republic where the people are supposed to be the government.

It also hints at something a whole lot darker that our dear leaders had better not let fester. And the best thing they can do to prevent that is to stop acting like petty little tyrants.

Stripping them naked and whipping them through the streets are a good start. 

Democrats hid the aid Trump sent to Puerto Rico. This is a crime.

From the comments:

They let people die so Trump would look bad.

They should be prosecuted for numerous grave charges - especially as it seems obvious someone had a plan to "salt" these in later with general sales & pocket the money.

These are treasures - no one overlooks this high value aid or "forgets" about it - this was orchestrated

Remember how the media made Trump look like he was evil for calling out this corruption.. Now they are crickets when they should be apologising and acknowledging the truth! Trump was right once again!...

Unbelievable. Intentionally withholding aid to victims of a natural disaster just to make your political opponent look bad is a crime against humanity. How many people died for lack of that aid? Sick....

Shall we hold our breath waiting for the mainstream media to deliver their apologies to Trump? Puerto Rico is plagued by corruption and incompetence.

Antifa rules Portland with the same impunity that the Ku Klux Klan ruled Birmingham in the 1960s

Journalist Andy Ngo after being beaten up by Antifa goons

Andy Ngo is a Portland-based journalist (for Quillette) who has made it his business to document the violence and insanity of Antifa in his city. Today they got him. They beat him up and stole his camera equipment.

One gets the impression that Antifa rules Portland with the same impunity that the Ku Klux Klan ruled Birmingham in the 1960s. Do they actually have police in Portland? Do they have functioning government there?

Let me answer that question.

The Democrats that ran Birmingham and the Democrats who run Portland approve and support violence against people they hate.  And they hate normal people.

Ted Wheeler is the mayor of Portland, a city where the violent far left gets to beat people up with impunity. He's a modern-day Bull Connor.

Trump Puts Democrats Between A Rock And A Hard Place On Illegal Immigration

The Democratic argument of “open borders, let everyone in” while proclaiming heavily-blue areas “sanctuary cities” is all about virtue signaling, not reality. If it were about reality, Governor Gavin Newsom of California and Mayor Jenny Durkan of Seattle and Senator Spartacus Booker would be throwing their arms open to take in all the illegals they could get. But instead, Trump has exposed them as hypocrites of the basest kind – those willing to exploit the hopes and dreams of one group by throwing the responsibility for it on the backs of those who don’t agree with them.

Chicks on the Right

Jerry was clearly trying to spin this but ultimately why wouldn’t Democrats want illegal immigrants to be safely relocated to sanctuary cities? They’ve been telling us for years how evil Trump is to keep them ‘caged’ at the border, and they’ve also told us how beneficial illegal immigrants are to communities so what’s the big deal?

Gun violence in Philly: ‘An everyday mass shooting,’ Temple study finds

Democrat shooting other Democrats in American cities know what to do the second or third time they get shot...

When Voshon Mills was shot in the leg last week, he didn’t scream or panic. He knew what to do. He’d been shot in the head, narrowly escaping brain injury, just four months earlier.

He took off his shirt, tied it around his leg, and applied pressure while waiting for the ambulance.

Seeing clusters of gunshot patients is a near daily occurrence in Philadelphia, said Jessica Beard, a co-author of the study and a trauma surgeon at Temple University Hospital. Doctors call the influx of patients “an everyday mass shooting.”

From the Wall Street Journal" "Anarchy Breaks Out in Portland, With the Mayor’s Blessing"

Portland, Ore.

Along the trolley tracks behind the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office, a biohazard cleanup crew works under police protection. It finds used needles and buckets of human waste simmering in nearly 100-degree heat. The smell of urine and feces fills the block. For more than five weeks, as many as 200 people had occupied the site to demand ICE’s immediate abolition. They’re gone now, but a community is left reeling. Thirty-eight days of government-sanctioned anarchy will do that.

A mob surrounded ICE’s office in Southwest Portland June 19. They barricaded the exits and blocked the driveway. They sent “guards” to patrol the doors, trapping workers inside. At night they laid on the street, stopping traffic at a critical junction near a hospital. Police stayed away. “At this time I am denying your request for additional resources,” the Portland Police Bureau’s deputy chief, Robert Day, wrote to federal officers pleading for help. Hours later, the remaining ICE workers were finally evacuated by a small federal police team. The facility shut down for more than a week.

...

Where were the police? Ordered away by Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler, who doubles as police commissioner. “I do not want the @PortlandPolice to be engaged or sucked into a conflict, particularly from a federal agency that I believe is on the wrong track,” he tweeted. “If [ICE is] looking for a bailout from this mayor, they are looking in the wrong place.”

The mob set up camp behind the building, where they harassed journalists and banned photography. The open-borders advocates also erected an 8-foot wall around their site. I walked through and saw young children, including infants, in squalid conditions and 90-degree heat. Every American flag was defaced. Anarchist and communist flags were unsoiled.

This is what the beginning of Civil War looks like.

SF Mayor: 'There's More Feces ... Than I've Ever Seen'

It's what you get when Left-Wing Democrats are in control,

San Francisco Mayor London Breed, in her first one-on-one interview since taking office, said homeless advocacy groups that receive funding from the city need to better educate the homeless to "clean up after themselves."

"I work hard to make sure your programs are funded for the purposes of trying to get these individuals help, and what I am asking you to do is work with your clients and ask them to at least have respect for the community — at least, clean up after themselves and show respect to one another and people in the neighborhood," Breed told the Investigative Unit, referencing her conversations with nonprofit groups aimed at serving the homeless.

You have to be an idiot if you thing this is going to work.

Picture of an idiot.

Which Republicans?

Kevin Williamson notes the absence of Republicans running the country's urban hellholes.

There has been a striking display of chutzpah among Democrats as they try to make a national campaign out of police-brutality allegations that wrong-foots Republicans. Regardless of what you think about the merit of the underlying allegations, the question of how police departments and other municipal agencies are run in Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc., has not a whole heck of a lot to do with any Republican: We are talking almost exclusively about Democrat-monopoly cities that have been that way for a long time. The extent of Republican involvement in the issue, if Moulitsas’s vapid prose and our eyes are to be believed, is Giuliani’s talking about the Super Bowl halftime show on Fox News.

Who runs Baltimore? Who runs Chicago? Who runs Los Angeles? How far from the site of Tamir Rice’s shooting would you have to drive to find a Republican with real municipal political power? What’s standing in the way of reforming the Cleveland police department? John Kasich? Please. You may as well blame Rick Santorum. If you are going to blame a Republican for the state of Baltimore, it would make just as much sense to choose Abe Lincoln as Rudy Giuliani.
